Sunderban Tigers

It stalks us, from all sides
You could run, you could run, but why fight?
I know now – didn't want to see before
These lying eyes staring at the floor
I know now – didn’t want to see before
These lying eyes, they don't open anymore
Through the woods, through the trees, you flee
To your rooms, to your books, philosophy
And you hold on with tooth and nail
You hold on
But rest assured, night will come and make animals of us all

We are the Sunderban tigers
Not weak but strong
Not old but young
We kill for fun

Nature, beautiful nature, wrap your arms around me
Use your beautiful teeth to bite through my skin

Salt water waves from your mouth when you say that you're not like them
Lets not get carried away
But the leaves on your arms, they branch out down to the ground
And the glacial ice in your veins – these will never change
You were born of wood and stone, but you’ve always known
So hold on, hold on if you want to
Hold on if you've got to
But rest assured night will come and make animals of us all

We are the Sunderban tigers
Not weak but strong
Not old, but young
We kill for fun
